SERVICE AFLOAT,
Or. The Remarkable Career Of the Con-
federate Cruisers, Sumter and
Alabama.

By Admiral Raphael Semmes, c. S. N.
A work superbly illustrated with Is
steel engrayings and S chromo-tinted
battle scenes, has just been issued by
the Baltimore Publishing Company, Bal
tinore, Md, with the above title. This
is an authentic history, by the great Adj
nliral himself, of those famous Cruisers
that played such havoc with the Ameri-
can shipping during the War between
the States. Over s25,000,000 worth Of
property was destroyed; a fact unpar-
alleled in naval warfare. The recital is
most thrilling; the work fills a niche in
Confederate history heretofore vacant:
The book is complete in one royal
octayo volume OF s33 pages, and is sold
only by subscription.
For terms, etc, apply to the publisher,
or Capt. A. P. Pifer, Newberry, S. c.,
who is general agent in South Carolina.

Ed. RegiSter-In reading your '"pei las.
week, noticed communication
"Puck" criticising an ad. in the paper Ga INC
week before. Now, time is money with me,
and L will answer as brief as possible. Inf
the first plac, never sent my work to st.
Louis to be finished; | have sent negatives
to be retouched-there are expert retouchers
there that do nothing else, and, of course,
they can do it cheaper and quicker than | or
any other photographer. Retouching is
simply removing blemishes on negative
to make it smooth and clear. The negative
will make picture without retouching. If
a carpenter builds a house and painter
paints it, the house is none the less the car
penter's work. Cramer, of St. Louis, makes
my dry plates. There are very few that
make their own dry plates, and none that
make success of il. If have to give credit
to everybody Interested it would include
Cramer and the manufacturers of chemicals,
paper, cards, &c. / have not time to do my
own retouching, so l send it to st. Louis.
Thanking " Puck /" for his free ad. of last
week, &C., but cannot spare any more time
to answer damphool questions.

John TrauCrnicht caught white rabbit in .
wooden box trap on the Knob last Friday
morning, and it was viewed by good many
during the day. The ''Drifter" would have
taken look at it, but was afraid it might
get out.
The machine helpers got quite spell on
them last week and some nine or ten left to
trv Colorado but the Captain soon filled their
places and the mine still runs.
By the way, Nine. Heine is niece, by
marriage, to our popular merchant, Chas.
Maschmeyer, of Pilot Knob.
Mr.. Goodenough has quit the drill hole

hundred feet and never struck rock or ore.
Cal said he never was so tired of anything in
his life. He is now drilling i'm the main
heading No. ., and he says the prospect is
one of the best he has ever had during his
four or five years prospecting on Pilot Knob.
Manager Craine has set the diamond drill
and party of workmen to prepare to thor
oughly prospect the Begley place before
making any expensive openings.
Our Young friend, Joe Inner, is filling the
place made vacant by VIM. Forester as loco
motive engineer on the dinkey, VIM. Searle.

selection could not have been made.
We are very glad to note that Mr.. Post is
at the helm of the Ore and Steel Company
store He has now full control and there
will be no more second handed business as
it forrnslt was.
Capt Searle spaced off all the contracts In
the mine on the last of March, and every one
looks to be well satisfied Some were award
ed new ones and some kept the ones they
were on.
Between the Ore and Steel company, the
PIX. Furnace company, the granite quarrles,
and the railroad company, there is some
where near sd, 900 distributed among their
employees, and from the employees this
amount is pretty fairly divided among the
business houses throughout Iron county, so
this should make Iron county very deslra-
BILE place for people to emigrate to.
Just after The great raid of Confederate
General Price, the furnaces had all to be
rebuilt, as everything was burned 10 the
ground even to the vast charcoal sheds,
which were full of this fuel, and after the
company had this all rebuilt and furnished
